In a desperate attempt to push their thirtysomething son Tripp (Matthew McConaughey) out of the nest, a frustrated mother and father (Kathy Bates and Terry Bradshaw) hire a beautiful relationship "consultant" (Sarah Jessica Parker) with a patented plan to move him out of the house. But her tried-and-true tactics, which involve her posing as the girl of his dreams, don't always have the intended effect. Zooey Deschanel co-stars.

When puppeteer Craig Schwartz (John Cusack) discovers a door that's, in fact, a portal into actor John Malkovich's brain, he concocts a plot to sell 15-minute excursions into Malkovich's mind -- and the ultimate head trip -- for $200 a pop. Spike Jonze directs this uncommon dramedy from writer Charlie Kaufman, co-starring Cameron Diaz as Craig's wife, Catherine Keener as his co-worker and Malkovich as himself.
